' Wrote:Oh I could go in to it but I don't think you'd listen. You seem to have just an out and out hatred for factions.
That's not true at all, I've run a faction and been second in command in another, as well as a grunt in more than I can remember.
I do have pretty high standards for a factio though, including an active faction website, and a good attitude toward everyone.
' Wrote:You really didn't read what I wrote. Do you REALLY want to split hairs over the ID of a bloody Star Wars character?
I'm not the one who brought that up, but I do think the BH ID should be a little less lawfully inclined.
' Wrote:BC's all over the place makes actual RPing a BH impossible. Hunting still goes on; but there's little or no RP.
Actually it depends on how you define it. If a BH character on the server has a proper ID and tag, and only attacks players he is allowed to, that is RP. Not deep RP, but it meets the bare minimum.
More RP than that on the server would consist of a few lines of text, but that's difficult for some, I'm a slow typer myself and just can't zing out those one liners with any speed, and I have to look at the keyboard to type as well. I try when I can but most of the time, in combat or chasing, I just can't afford to type.
' Wrote:What would the benefits be? Well players might get
. decent hunting partners, cause that's how hunting works best, and in my experience it's more enjopyable playing a game WITH other people rather than JUST AGAINST them.
. a reputation for being someone who is killing for a living rather than settling some ridiculous oorp grudge - i.e. a bounty hunter.
. the experience of the BH light craft which are outstanding.
. a realisation that the reason you dont see npc BH capships ANYWHERE in Sirius other than the Omicrons, Alaska is because its part of the game. The Core is waging the war against the Order. At the moment,the BHg seems to be a war with all the unlawful factions in Sirius, like police.
. the experience of being a hunter.
But I said all this already. You just didn't read it properly.

I read it properly. The fact is I almost always find indie BH's to team up with (If I find one that speaks english) and the reputation, well, I don't care about that because what I do is overshadowed by what I say here anyway, and for the rest they are not on the forums so they don't care. The other points steer toward giving up the BC for a bomber, but that's a drawback to a faction for a lot of these people.
To start and maintain a BH clan on this server right now, especially one that curtails the large number of BH BC's is an uphill battle, because the BH's are overfilling with the people driven out of outcast space and the only thing you have to offer is structure and removal of the cap ship that someone did a lot of trading to get.
